Abstract
Based оn the data yielded by immunohistochemical and morphometric research, expressions of smooth muscle actin in the prostate cancer were analysed. It was revealed, that its low expression in a stroma of neoplasms and in walls of vessels is more characteristic of low-grade cancers and tumours with higher metastatic potential. In addition, low-grade cancers featured disturbance of the formation of vessels’ smooth muscle skeleton, decrease of its thickness, appearance of discontinuity and defects of smooth muscle layer, which reflect imperfection of neoangiogenesis and can be a prognostic marker of a neoplasm.
